Gantt charts

Gantt charts are a very useful way to organize projects into milestones and tasks visually. They are also dead useful when comes the time to create a timeline for a project, whether it be for a research project, field work or grant applications. I recently wanted to create one, but was unsatisfied by what was available out there in terms of visuals (although there are neat R examples, see here, here and here). So I came up with my own!

For those who might be interested only in generating charts without all the code, jump to the end, copy the ganttR function I created and Gantt away!
